Arugello’s gem wasted in pitcher’s duel

It was that kind of night offensively Monday for the Patriots, who lost 1-0 to the Lancaster Barnstormers when Jaime Pedroza hit a two-out walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning.

Mike Solbach retired the first two hitters he faced in relief of Arugello, who allowed eight hits and struck out two without a walk. Arguello was matched by J.D. Durbin, who went seven innings, and three relievers.

The Patriots’ best scoring chance came in the eighth but Jonny Tucker popped up a two-strike bunt attempt with two runners on and no outs. Freddy Bynum hit into a fielder’s choice and Freddy Sandoval flew out to end the threat.
